I was in my office as I was reading up on the files that were on my desk. The images of the three factories that were destroyed on Gethos, Saluvan, and Rietza were most likely to be successes during my absence as I noticed the images of Kuze and his group destroying them and freeing the prisoners that were in them. I even stared at the images of the deplorable conditions that the prisoners endured as it was more than enough to bring Darbus to his knees. By the time I was about to leave my office, I saw Nimi standing in front of me as he had a grin on his face. I had a feeling that he was about to tell me about the entry towards Doitsu as he was eager like the rest of us to stop our target before he enacts the Hitlerian Code and subjugates everyone to his will.
"It's about fucking time that you came back, Sam" I heard him say. "In the long run, let's keep it that way after what we all went through beyond the planet's borders."
"You're in a mode lately," I said.
"Some friends of mine are itching to find more of Darbus' factories throughout the entire Ashizoka System, but the news about releasing the Nazgul from their tablet prison is the very tip of the iceberg in our matters to ice that asshole."
"I heard of their heroics, but their efforts into shutting down Darbus' plans has emboldened him instead of crippling him."
"After your absence of eight months or so, we're not stopping right now 'cause the higher-ups from the Order are having their open powwow after hiding away from Darbus' cronies for a while. Hell, even Noldorin's ready to step up his game to put his hunt for Azazel's children on hold for a little while."
I looked at the files on the desk as I stared at the pictures that were in them. The conditions in the three spent factories that the Tower Punks blew up were terrible as the time to eliminate Darbus was still in full swing so far...
1. Sandstorms and Stress
Kuze looked through his binoculars as he spotted his target intensely. The thought of Darbus running everything beyond Alecrast's borders was more than enough to take action as he alerted his fellow friends into joining the action. When he spotted Oniwaka appearing out of nowhere, he was ready for battle as he couldn't take being around Darbus' inflammatory rhetoric for far too long. Both Arrancar were on the prowl as they were ready to take out the factory that churned Darbus' artificial creations here on Gethos.
"Take a good look there, Oniwaka," said Kuze as he saw two soulless dolls dressed in armor standing guard. "There's Darbus' toys just there to cause havoc on the Ashizoka System's infrastructure."
"Have you heard about Wabisuke and Kyokasuigetsu going to the western part of the Ashizoka System?" he said. "Well, the boss went straight to Shion while Wabisuke went to the factory on Trost to help out into shutting down the factory down on that planet."
"To put it bluntly, shall we start our fun now before more trouble comes along?"
"I agree!"
Both Kuze and Oniwaka were getting into their dune runner as they were making their way towards the factory in front of them. They were on a course to put a damper on Darbus' ambitions as they finally made it past the guards. Both of them with blond hair, blue eyes, and porcelain skin spotted them as they were firing their weapons at them, only to be silenced by Noldorin, who appeared out of nowhere with his sword in his hands.
"You should've had backup with you," he said as he put away his sword.
"We're in the main entrance, but we should find the generator in this joint first," said Oniwaka.
"Does Kyokasuigetsu know that you two are here on Gethos?"
"He's not the only one who knows. The locals who steer sandminers all over this giant catbox are worried about what's housed in there," said Kuze. "From some of the people who are making money off getting minerals for profit, those artificial things weren't there just on guard duty. What we saw at the front has been a hellhole when those things are taking prisoners from other planets just to be slaves of running those factories that Darbus has."
"Kuze! We got company!" yelled Oniwaka as he spotted several artificial dolls standing in front.
"Well, Oniwaka, shall we mop the floor with those asshats?"
In that moment, both Oniwaka and Kuze were mopping the floor with the artificial creations that were in the factory as their weapons had no effect on them. As beings from the Middle Ground, they weren't about to stay dead for too long as they were busy making their way to the inner complex where the generator was running. By the time Noldorin caught up with them, he saw several prisoners in ratty clothing walk around in chains as they were suffering in much worse conditions than what was perceived to be. The sight of them reminded him of the horrors of the concentration camps during the Elder Days as he saw such horror all over the place. In swift action, he couldn't take it anymore as he decided to help Kuze and Oniwaka liberate the prisoners from their bonds and set them free.
"Attention!" he yelled. "You're free! After six months or so of putting with Darbus' crap, it's time for you to live freely before you suffer from a lot worse!"
The victims of Darbus' ambitions were being led away by the efforts of Noldorin as both Kuze and Oniwaka were busy mopping the floor with the upcoming soulless dolls that were coming their way in droves. All three Arrancar were on hand into putting a dent into Darbus' plans as they were most likely to be tangling with many things that were more worse than they were.
"Return the prisoners, enemies of Lord Darbus," said the artificial creations in unison. "Your presence here is irrelevant here. Return the prisoners, enemies of Lord Darbus."
"Not today, asshat!" yelled Kuze as he got out his chakram and threw it at some of the soulless dolls in his way. "We heard about what your master has done, including the ouster of Sam Winchester and his family six months ago!"
The soulless dolls were firing their weapons until Kuze's chakram sliced off the heads of those who were holding them in their hands. It was the most of the efforts that held sway as Oniwaka mowed the group of soulless dolls that stood in his way. By the time they reached the generator, Oniwaka himself pummeled it with his large fists as an alarm was going off in a panic. The factory was starting to become unstable as they followed Noldorin out with the prisoners in tow. By the time they all left the factory, it was blown to bits as it was a victory to those who loathed Darbus in all his glory. By the time an Order of Letters ship arrived, it landed into a clearing as Ginryu came out of it while assessing the situation so far.
"Well, Ginryu, how did we do?" asked Oniwaka.
"You did good," he said. "After having our meetings in the shadows, this is our time to return out of hiding after six months of threats coming from Darbus Toller. As for his plans to shut down the Order of Letters, it will never come to pass because we're not about to be set under his foot anymore."
"That's good news to hear," said Kuze. "Besides, we got an agenda to put up because of what happened in that factory we blew up."
The combined group of the Hunter Corps and Medical Corps were assessing the conditions of the prisoners that were found in the factory as they were in the most deplorable shape. Some of them were even caked in their own urine and other bodily messes as they were in dire need of getting cleaned up after enduring months of hard labor. As for the efforts of the Tower Punks, their mission wasn't over as they would soon go towards another factory on the horizon...
Meanwhile, back in the present...
I was astonished at Kuze and Oniwaka's efforts into shutting down the factory on Gethos with the help of Noldorin as I saw them in a picture while standing in the sand. The efforts of their heroics were more than enough to put a bigger dent to Darbus' plans after all. When I got out of my office, I had Nimi following me as we were going towards the kitchen to see the rest of the Tower Punks at work with dinner. The smell of pierogies cooking was more than enough to fill the room with their filling that puts every food item to shame. At that time, I noticed Reiko cooking up some nikujaga as the smell of it filled my nose directly. It was a smorgasbord full of delights as I was also smelling the food that was cooking outside. The scent of beef brisket cooking over the grill was more than enough to even bring Barca to sniffing the taste of it after he enjoyed another fresh kill earlier. To my surprise, I noticed Sterling and his family on hand into cooking dinner for everyone in which even there were also some giant turkrani cooking over a rotisserie with vegetables.
"I never expected you to pull out all the stops, but you did it," I said.
"There's no rush, but there won't be any turducken slammers anytime soon," said Kalindra as she was finishing up on some desserts for after dinner. "Those Arrancar in the kitchen are working up a storm in there and they're not giving Reiko any space."
"She's no stranger into cooking for many people, but it's lively here after a long absence," said one of Sterling's sons who had black hair. "At least she's humble to have all of us here."
I was happy to see such cooking activity returning to the castle once again as I was seeing Nimi overseeing some of the food that was brought here in droves. He was eager to see the whole works of what would happen next after this cavalcade of food here in this castle as he remembered the efforts of the Tower Punks and their heroic efforts. In such a grand gesture, the memories of the Tower Punks were more than enough to bring them to prominence as their efforts into shutting down Darbus' influence was on a roll so far...
2. Hot, Bothered, and Ready to Kick Ass and Take Names
Wabisuke was on the prowl as he was seeing the location of the factory that Darbus built here on Saluvan. Like the one on Trost, the one here was troubling as the Arrancar was ready to go forward until he was stopped by a female one with purple hair and silver eyes. Like Wabisuke, the female Arrancar was armed as she had a set of swords in her hands. In her own sense, she was concerned about the prisoners that were housed in there to tend to the artificial creations that were churned out inside. It was too much to bear as they noticed several members of the Thule Society on watch in front of the factory.
"It's a long shot, Tobiume, but we're gonna have to go it alone for the time being," said Wabisuke.
"You're a smooth talker, Wabisuke," she said. "As for our situation with the Thule Society, we're gonna have to be careful."
"Those frickin' Thules. I wish that those asshats would just go away for once."
"Their poisons only harm humans and humanoids, but like our Shinigami, Arrancar, and Haradrim brethren, we're all immune to them, so there's no need to worry."
"Then let's can those asshats."
Both Wabisuke and Tobiume were on a roll as they were going towards the factory where several of the Thule soldiers were on patrol. It was their time to shine as they were not going to take any more of Darbus' wrath and fear over others. By the time they got to the front entrance, they noticed Kyokasuigetsu arriving as he fired his pistols at some of the fleeing Thules that were not afraid to secure the factory directly. The rest of the Thules in the factory's main entrance weren't budging as one of them stepped on a Pez dispenser that was on the ground. The simple crunch of plastic that was a compartment to keep candy made Kyokasuigetsu angry as he fired at the rest of the Thules that were being taken out due to the anger from the Arrancar with his twin pistols.
"This is for stepping on a Pez dispenser!" he yelled as he fired his shots into the air.
"Kyo, cut the crap!" yelled Wabisuke. "We gotta blow this popsicle stand and release the prisoners that were brought here to preserve Darbus' artificial clones in their stasis pods!"
"We got company!" yelled Tobiume as she saw several artificial creations with guns in their hands.
"Then we go in and take them out!" yelled Kyokasuigetsu. "For far too long, Darbus has used and abused his status just to bring different kinds of prisoners just to wallow in their own shit and piss!"
And so, Wabisuke and Tobiume joined Kyokasuigetsu as all three were attacking some of Darbus' artificial creations in their wake. They were willing to liberate the prisoners that were kept in squallid conditions as Tobiume took charge and freed them by using her swords to cut the doors open. The state of the prisoners in such a troubling condition was more than enough to get them out of there and destroy the factory that they were in.
"This is insane," said Wabisuke. "Just look at those people in their pens." He sees the freed prisoners all covered in their own bodily fluids. "They're like pigs in a factory farm; overcrowded and suffering from such squallid cramped spaces while the soulless dolls get to live in clean stasis pods for the rest of their charmed lives."
"Darbus sure gets a kick out of putting those people in pens just to maintain the security of the soulless dolls in stasis," said Kyokasuigetsu. "He really has to go 'cause putting these humanoids in here to wallow in their own bodily excesses pisses me off."
"Let's hope that the Medical Corps arrives to clean them up in time," said Tobiume. "It's awful to see these people like this."
"And we'll rain on Darbus' parade..."
Cocking up his twin pistols, Kyokasuigetsu saw several more of Darbus' artificial creations coming in gold armor as they were running towards the rescuing group. In an instant, Wabisuke got out his twin kunai as he sped through the soulless dolls that were attacking the liberators of the factory. He wasn't about to throw in the towel anytime soon as he ran towards the basement where he saw the core generator that was keeping the Master Race in this factory alive. In such grandeur, he used his kunai to shatter the generator as it was about to be turned into a bomb. Like the rest of us, he loathed Darbus for his cruel malignance all over the galaxy as he was ready to blow this popsicle stand with Tobiume and Kyokasuigetsu in tow.
By the time they got out with the prisoners all counted for, they saw the factory explode into pieces as they were grateful that they got the last laugh against Darbus and his Master Race. It was smooth sailing as they noticed an Order of Letters ship approaching the moment it landed, the three liberators were there with the prisoners they freed as they several members of the Medical Corps assessing the situation so far.
"And here comes the cavalry in white," said Kyokasuigetsu as he got out his Tweety Pez dispenser and took out a piece of candy. "Luckily, we're hoping that the dickwad in charge of those artificial dolls drops dead really soon."
"Do you think that Darbus can be weakened by such drivel after we blew up two of his factories?" said Tobiume. "He's expecting the Destiny of Worlds to come back to Alecrast just to unleash his weapon in the form of those infernal flying fiends."
"The Nazgul..." said Wabisuke as he put away his kunai. "It's been centuries since Isaac Bass and Henry Winchester went in and sealed them back up in that tablet until Cuthbert Sinclair snagged it to add to the Order of Letters' private collection."
"Hey, we should report to Ginryu first," said Kyokasuigetsu. "Besides, one more of Darbus' factories here in this part of the Ashizoka System is on Rietza and we're not gonna let those soulless dolls rain on the parade of the people down there. What we saw in the first two factories that we blew up is a red flag waiting to happen, but Darbus will end up on the receiving end after what he pulled."
And so, the three liberators were ready to put this mission in the bag as they had one more factory to blow up. The one on Rietza was on their to-do list as they were ready to stop Darbus' influence on the sly, for they've gotten fed up with his rhetoric so far…
Meanwhile, back in the present…, again!
I was outside helping everyone prepare dinner as I was busy baking some pies for dessert. The care of baking some of the apple pies that were put into the fire oven were a badge of hope as I had the seeds of the apples placed into a small jar for planting. By the time I set my timer to an hour, I noticed Kanna approaching as she was curious at what I was doing. Even though she was dressed in a blue yukata, she had a coat over it as she noticed the fresh buds sprouting on the berry vines and trees near the walls. In that instant, she saw three blossom buds on a vine as she never expected to see them there before, for spring was coming forward soon.
"Those blossoms…," I heard her say. "They came early this year."
"Those blossoms are from the olallieberry vines growing on the wall," I said. "I was also told that whenever a blossom bloom early, it signals an early call of spring."
"They're beautiful..."
"This castle…, are you the master of it?"
"Originally, I wanted my older brother to own it, but he declined due to his status as a member of the Hunter Corps. Personally, he prefers riding along in space in his ship more than anything."
"He has a ship?"
"At first the Hunter Corps ship in his name didn't have one, so he called it the Kurokage, which means 'black shadow.' Even after I was found, I didn't want to go back home here, but I had to after hiding in the Dabb Mountains on Shiganshina for a while."
"Dinner!"
I heard Reiko's voice yelling as I followed Kanna back inside of the main house. By the time we got to the main dining room, we saw everyone feasting on the dinner that was made. We all ate as a family with plenty of guests as we were also happy to be here with such a huge gathering since we came back home. Even when we were still here, the spark of our presence had gotten a lot more stronger than ever as we were here to put a stop to Darbus Toller and his deadly machinations. Even though this battle wasn't over, we had our work cut out for all of us as our reasons to stop the arrogant aristocrat were nearing towards a clouded end…
3. In the Tang Family's Backyard
Kyokasuigetsu led the charge of going to Rietza as he had the coordinates to the Darbus' factory at hand. With Kuze and Oniwaka in tow, all three were ready to wreak havoc as they were about to destroy the place that was located in a very awkward place. The factory itself was near the lands where the Tang Family lived as it was there to be up to no good. When Kuze looked into his binoculars, he noticed a ship carrying prisoners as it landed near the factory's main entrance. The sight of those who were caught by Darbus' supporters was getting to be monotonous indeed, for the three liberators were about to pull another fast one on their enemy and his artificial creations in tow.
"He's at it again…," said Kuze as he puts away his binoculars. "When will Darbus put an end to his own failed crusade to propel his vision of humanity in the galaxy for once?"
"He's not going to until he enacts the tablet that contains the Nazgul," said Kyokasuigetsu. "We all know that the bastard ain't gonna stop until he sees the entire Ashizoka System rid of the indigenous populations who didn't do a damn thing to him. Even the Steward of Purgatory's been busy snacking on some of his artificial creations on the sly, but it won't end until he's brought to justice for killing Ippei a couple of months back."
"The Nazgul are bad!" cried Oniwaka as he was shaking with fear. "Darbus is making a mistake into setting them out into the open like that!"
"It's just that," said Kuze. "Darbus has images of grandeur to bring them out into the open, but they will end up getting out of control if he doesn't back away."
Kyokasuigetsu remembered the last time that the Nazgul were released during the Elder Days as the carnage it caused to the Allied Forces at that time. He could never forget the valiant efforts of Yashamaru, Nimi, and Noldorin going in there to shut down the tablet before it did damage to anything or anyone else. He also could never forget the involvement with Henry Winchester and Isaac Bass at that time as the Nazgul were once contained in their tablet prison until it was retrieved by Darbus Toller over two thousand years ago. As for the current situation, he had to stay the course as he had Kuze and Oniwaka in tow to shut down the factory that was on the Tang Family's land against their wishes.
"We've come so far to prevent that asshat from causing harm to everyone in the last seven months or so," he said as he got out his twin guns. "Now that we're closing on the Death Star in the middle of a field, we'll make damn sure that we get the prisoners out and report to Kansas Tang, who has issued dozens of complaints to the local magistrate, but he finally got Ginryu's attention just to let us do the legwork."
"Here comes the cavalry coming from Beren's group," said Kuze as he spotted them armed with guns and swords. "It bites that the little brother of the slain Colchuvar Grunwald has to do the legwork that got piled up on his doorstep." He spots two familiar Half-Elves dressed in scantily-clad armor as they were among the troops. "No way..." He sees Abigail remove her helmet to reveal the blond hair cut short as she was ready to shut down the factory that was in the Tang Family's lands for too long. "That lowlife brings his nieces into a battle like that? They shouldn't be in this situation like that."
"Hey, those Half-Elves are the twin daughters of Colchuvar Grunwald and the granddaughters of Tythonus Vallon, who stood firm in New Capua as one of the gladiators that overpowered the corrupt mayor many centuries ago," said Oniwaka. "I even heard that he overpowered someone that was stronger than he was."
"Tythonus Vallon was also known in the arena as the T.V. Set. It was his namesake, but he had both brains and brawn just to stand firm with his twin brother, Marthonus, along with Cletus MacVicker and the late Ippei Mitani. As for the two girls in the group, they're not about to throw in the towel after they came to stop Darbus like the rest of us."
"Then, let's do this!" yelled Kyokasuigetsu. "We're not about to have Darbus get his way again, not if we can put a dent in his factories that are there throughout the Ashizoka System."
And so, the three liberators were on the move as they saw the cavalry of soldiers going towards the factory in front of them. The increase of the effort gave Kyokasuigetsu and the other two an advantage as they saw two of Darbus' artificial creations approaching with spears in their hands. With his guns in his hands, he fired at them, only to see the bullets bounce off of them. He had a feeling that those soulless dolls were expecting his group as they were twirling their spears to deflect any projectile attack from their enemies. The two enemies themselves were even going for the attack as they were coming towards Oniwaka. His arms crunched the spears in their hands, but he was no match for them as they kicked him against the wall. With Kuze being the last one ready to attack, he got out his chakram as he threw it at them, only for one of them to catch it in their hands. He never expected the two soulless dolls to get smarter, but they never expected to see some arrows fired at them.
By the time Abigail sprinted forth, she fired another arrow into the other soulless doll as it dropped Kuze's chakram to the ground. With Alma joining her, she got out her sword as she stabbed through one of the artificial dolls as it was dead on the ground. Both twins were ready to destroy the factory as they were eager to save the prisoners in the process as well. With Abigail finishing off the one that once had Kuze's chakram, she was ready to bring in the hurt against Darbus' artificial creations like everyone who bore a grudge against him as the time to put an end to his cruel handiwork was coming towards the finish line.
"A bunch of girls saved our bacon!" yelled Oniwaka.
"We came here against Uncle Beren's wishes," said Alma as she put away her sword.
"Aren't you guys happy that we came here to stop those things for you?" asked Abigail.
"They're cool, but they made our way into the factory's generator a little easier this time," said Kyokasuigetsu. "Besides, they have the same blood as Colchuvar Grunwald and Tythonus Vallon put together."
"You go, girl," said Kuze as he gave the thumbs-up in salute. "Well, shall we save the prisoners in squallid conditions and blow up this popsicle stand?"
Everyone agreed as they busted open the main doors to the factory, only to find that they saw several of the prisoners being transferred to the furnace by members of the Thule Society who were on hand into doing such the most deplorable acts imaginable. With Kyokasuigetsu in charge, he saw one of the Thule guards getting to attack with his blow-dart gun as he went towards him and blew the dart back into his throat. With the poison slowly killing the guard, he writhed on the floor until he drew his last breath while everyone was on hand into stopping the rest of them. When Oniwaka saw another Thule guard getting ready to turn on the furnace, he ran towards him as he crushed him to death with his huge arms. By the time he broke down the door to the furnace, he saw the prisoners heaving a sigh of relief as they were running out of there in droves.
The release of the prisoners was a badge of honor that was thumbed in Darbus' face as Kyokasuigetsu sprinted towards the top of the floor. He saw the generator blazing brightly as he was ready to destroy it in one fell swoop. When he fired his pistols at it, the generator was starting to overload as it was turning into a bomb like the rest, but something was wrong indeed. The generator absorbed the bullets as it still stood, for Kyokasuigetsu had a feeling that this destruction of this factory wasn't about to be easy. It wasn't long until he heard a woman's voice singing over the intercom as the image of her appeared on screen. The woman herself was human as she had the same blond hair that was put up in a bun while she sported the same blue eyes like her artificial counterparts. The very image of her was menacing as she was dressed up in a beige tunic with matching black skirt and thigh-high boots while sporting a deplorable armband that will always be despised by the Judah Initiative. Kyokasuigetsu knew that the woman was wearing the same crooked swastika as it was also the most despicable emblem of hate all over Earth and the rest of the galaxy, for it was something that couldn't be ignored very lightly.
"O Fatherland, Fatherland, show us the sign," she sang without remorse or pity. "Your children have waited to see. The morning will come when the world is mine. Tomorrow belongs, tomorrow belongs, tomorrow belongs… to me!"
The woman raises her right hand in a Nazi salute as Kyokasuigetsu was disgusted at her actions on screen. Still, he had a job to do as he noticed Oniwaka coming upwards and smashing the generator with his hands while dismantling it from its power core. With the remainder of it becoming a bomb that was ready to be set off, both Kyokasuigetsu and Oniwaka were ready to leave as they went downstairs to meet up with Kuze and the others while they were getting the prisoners out of the factory directly. By the time they all made it, the place blew up like the rest as the mission was complete until another day. When Kyokasuigetsu sat down, he was staring at Oniwaka as he was grateful that the muscle of the Tower Punks broke through when his bullets didn't make a scratch in the generator, for it was destroyed and the factory near Tang land was no more. Just as everyone was about to call it a day and report to Ginryu, Kyokasuigetsu got a message from his vidphone as he took it out of his pocket and answered it, only to hear the same voice from the factory earlier.
"You've done well for a group of hired thugs, but the battle against Darbus Toller will be ruled in his favor," she said over the phone. "We all know that he stands for the pure race of soulless humans, but the indigenous races will never rise again to prominence once he's done making an effort into cementing his name throughout the cosmos. In the end, the tyrant will always be the hero while the renegade becomes the enemy."
"Whoever you are, Darbus will never rule in anyone's favor, I can tell you that for sure," said Kyokasuigetsu. "In the end, the Destiny of Worlds will rise up and put an end to your chosen lord's machinations and dirty tactics by burning prisoners in furnaces."
"For starters, mein herr, my name's Olenna Thurber and I am a patriotic supporter of Darbus Toller and the second branch of his family in the Alecrian region of Doitsu, so I suggest that you do all of us a favor: stand down!"
"We'll never stand down as long as your harbinger of the Master Race still lives and breathes. Hell, we went up against a couple of smart artificial creations at the front."
"I was the one who programmed them to do so. As for generator, projectile rounds don't scratch it, but the true flaw is in the brute force that was brought out by your friend until it blew up. In the end, the Nazgul will rise up from their tablet prison and will cause havoc to those who don't appease Darbus Toller and his ideals."
Kyokasuigetsu put away his vidphone as he now knew of what Olenna Thurber was and he wasn't too happy with her meddling in the factory on Rietza. By the time he saw an Order of Letters ship arriving, he and the others were in luck as they were ready to call it a day again, but Olenna's presence among Darbus' supporters was getting to be troubling so far. Even though the battle was over, the lingering danger of the Nazgul was a huge problem as there would also be hope in the balance to destroy them soon enough…
Right frickin' now…!
I was busy getting out the pies from the fire oven outside as I set them down on the table to cool off before eating. Even though it was nighttime, I was worried about the factor of Darbus' intentions of releasing the Nazgul from their prison as I had a feeling that this was never the very end of what would happen next. Just when I was about to go back inside, I saw the woman that was described in the files of the factory's destruction on Rietza as she was standing in front of me. She was there to glare at me with such an icy smile that made her feel more soulless than the artificial creations that Darbus churned out as I froze in my tracks. She was someone who supported Darbus' agenda as she wasn't about to back down from it anytime soon.
"O Fatherland, Fatherland, show us the sign," she sang in the same icy tone in her voice. "Your children have waited to see. The morning will come when the world is mine. Tomorrow belongs to me..."
"You have a singing voice for a snow queen," I said. "Still, your master sent you here to give me a warning, didn't he?"
"Sam Winchester, I presume? It's an honor that we meet between two humans."
"And your name's Olenna Thurber, isn't it? I looked into the files that Kyokasuigetsu sent me and you nearly dampened the operation into destroying the factory that Kansas Tang complained about in his own backyard."
"I came here to give you a warning because the human Jew and that katze will never stop the Nazgul the moment they're released into the air and Doitsu will be their home."
"Your master released them, didn't he?"
"Not quite. Still, the only way to release the glorious Nazgul is to sacrifice a young virgin and bathe their tablet prison in her blood. Still, the Jewish bitch will be the first candidate, but there are others that are willing to step up to the cause to release those righteous warriors into the world once again."
"That will never happen!"
"And what about your past self dodging the pressure to say yes to Lucifer? We all knew that he did it in the end, only to fling himself with Lucifer back in his cage while bringing Adam Milligan and Michael with him. It's the same with you when you refuse to allow Darbus to open the Pandora's Box that contains the glorious Nazgul. In the end, you will make the choice when it comes down to that decision in your hands."
BANG! BANG!
Two shots rang out as I saw Kyokasuigetsu leap from the top of the second floor and land on his feet. When he stared at Olenna in person, he had nothing but contempt for her as he wanted to do away with her on the spot. The sight of her glaring at us was more than enough to aim one of his guns at her as he was ready to shoot at any time.
"Back away, bitch!" he yelled as he was itching to pull the trigger on Olenna. "If you came here to Kanto Village just to gloat at your enemies, the you picked the wrong time."
"Kyokasuigetsu in the flesh," she said. "It's such a pity that you came here at the wrong time now."
"If you're thinking about releasing the Nazgul, then you're sadly mistaken!"
"Oh, they'll be released alright… All we need is a sacrifice of virginal blood to release them from their prison."
"Do you even think that you can withstand the power of the Nazgul after your master gets them out of there? They'll cause a lot more than just chaos in the name of Darbus and his ambitions."
"Still, the Nazgul will be released and it'll be the best thing since the Apocalypse and the Darkness walking the Earth put together. As for the other authorities looking for me..." Olenna turns around as she does a Nazi salute. "Sieg heil to Lord Darbus and the glory it will bring!"
In that moment, she left without further incident as both Kyokasuigetsu and I were not too happy with her presence here earlier. Still, the rumors about the Nazgul being released would soon become a reality as the clock was ticking to stop Darbus from unleashing those unholy scum all over the planet. The factor of putting a stop to Darbus' plans was hitting a real snag as we had to get towards Doitsu immediately, for time was running out…
Ginryu was in his office as he was looking at the report about the incidents that have been piling up in Doitsu one after another. When he looked at the file on the table, he saw a picture of his worst nightmare coming to life as they were seen flying all over in the region of Chugoku. The hell that Darbus was concocting was already beginning as the time to put the Nazgul back in their prison was already well underway as we all speak. Just as he was about to get up out of his office, he heard the door open as he noticed Reina approaching with a grave look on her face.
"It's already begun, Reina," he said gravely. "The Nazgul have been spotted in different parts of Chugoku in which they've made their mark on mass slaughter over there."
"I hate to inform you, Ginryu, but have you heard of Olenna Thurber before?" she asked him.
"Olenna Thurber?"
"She's the daughter of a Terran aristocrat living in Doitsu, but she's also known for her inflammatory rhetoric that is similar to Darbus Toller's. She's known as the Icy Maiden of Doitsu in which she sings that song from that ancient musical, Cabaret, just to provoke her enemies."
"I know who the Thurbers are because of their leanings to the Thule Society during their height of power on Megiddo over the centuries. Like the Tollers, they also support the rise of the Master Race coming to take over the Ashizoka System."
"Our worst nightmare has come to life, but we're not out of options just yet. Sam and Reiko will bring this galaxy towards a golden age, but not without help."
"What help are you talking about?"
"Have you heard of the Black Dragon Guild? They're a group of gangsters and assassins that are poised to kill one's target. Sam Winchester and his young ward, Dirk Matheson, have been targets by that criminal organization in which they are poised to quell the Nazgul from doing much further damage all over the place. As for the ones whose sacrifices weren't in vain to protect them from harm, their valor isn't put away that easily, but we can't just let Darbus cause too much panic ever again after what he's done. We are going towards the region of Doitsu at once and that includes the cooperation of the Tower Punks and the Kai army base in Chugoku. We're ready to stop the Nazgul, but not without the help of Sam Winchester and those who are rallying around him. This is our darkest moment and we're not about to go down without a fight just yet."
Ginryu's point was made as he wasn't about to throw in the towel in this time of crisis. When he looked out the window, he heard the screams of the Nazgul outside as the battle to eliminate them was already beginning as we speak. The battle to stop Darbus' plans was in motion as the battle to do away with the Nazgul was just the tip of the iceberg so far. By the time he left his office with Reina following him, they noticed a group of Medical Corps carting several injured people as they were caught in the grip of the upcoming terror that wasn't about to go away anytime soon.
"And so, it begins…," said Reina.
"And the Nazgul have risen from their prison just to cause havoc all over the galaxy again," said Ginryu. "Sooner or later, Darbus will find that his prized weapon to enact the Hitlerian Code will get out of control, even for his own gain."
"I have a bad feeling about this..."
"Don't we all?"
Ginryu and Reina heard the sound of the song, "Tomorrow Belongs to Me," blaring in the background as it was heard through the intercoms throughout the Order's main headquarters. The grim nightmare that was coming was right on their heels as the time to get them back to their prison was on the edge of a knife indeed…
To be continued...
